I use Speedplay Frog pedals on my road and touring bikes - recessed cleats are the only way to go! I wear Sidi Dominator shoes. They have a very stiff sole, so I don't feel that I'm compromising at all. I switched away from road shoes many many years ago because of the cleats; I like to be able to walk in my shoes without worrying about tripping on the cleats. No, I don't walk far - but I'm much happier with this system!
I have small feet too - but I have to recommend that you bring your wife with you to try on the shoes. The Sidi's run small - I wear a size 6 women's shoe, but my Sidi's are a 38 - which is supposedly much bigger than a US size 6.
